Character image generator for storing images in a landscape and potrait orientation

摘要

A character image generator provides a font memory for memorizing first and second bit images of every character which is comprised of a font read-only memory (ROM) and a font random access memory (RAM). When a user makes a bit image of an external character desired and the bit image is down-loaded from the host data processor, the bit image is automatically rotated by 90 degrees and the bit image rotated is registered in the font RAM together with the bit image down-loaded.
